Lot 80093 – Mauritius – 1848 “Post Paid” 1d, a spectacular assembly of 12 items
Sperati Forgeries: 1848 “Post Paid” 1d, a spectacular assembly of twelve items for the production process of this famous stamp, comprising seven glass clichés in the various colours preferred by Sperati to create good contrasts, four clichés on celluloiud showing experimentation with colour shades, also proofs on medium wove paper, one exhibiting a double impression in black, with Sperati’s note “2/1”; a truly remarkable selection that shows the progression of the matrix from glass clichés to experimental impression. The lot is housed in Sperati’s box « Nouvelles Plaques Eclair, Papiers Photographiques ».
Additional note on rarity and relevance: Nothing about the “Post Paid” was recorded in the Sperati II handbook by Robson Lowe and Carl Walske, and no examples were found in the Musée de la Poste of Paris.
